Holy crap. It's been a long time since I got an honest-to-God 419 (Nigerian) scam email:quote:Dear Honest Partner edit: "the sum of seven million five hundred thousand dollars Million Dollars" when actually read...

99% certain that I was there, along with the totally-coincidentally only minorities in the corresponding class groups, to show variations of "diversity" to clinical site and post-graduation employer department heads. But it went well anyway, and we got to ask and answer questions. I was sat front and center, right between the program director and campus president, and they asked me to give input a lot during the two hours. I learned that a nursing program lives and dies by two things: its NCLEX first-time-pass rates, and the rate of employment during the first six months after graduation. I guess our program hosts these dinners/luncheons in order to give perspectives on those figures to hospitals or other potential employers in order to fight for clinical rotation availability (schools have to compete to convince hospitals to let us shadow as students) and to pump those post-grad numbers up. The hospital representatives were all from hospitals that traditionally don't hire as many of our graduate students compared to others, so it was basically a professional hobnob/advertisement. Ew.

So basically nurse crack. Pro move - something for you, something for other trans students! You're doing a pretty good job of being aware they're doing this to highlight and improve diversity, so you know they get something out of it, but making sure you and other trans (or other minority students, really) get more focus and attention makes it worthwhile. You have the benefit of not being a starry eyed eighteen year old.

Ok, so has Google maps started putting advertising in their maps or has that always been there? Like, lately I've noticed when it's giving directions it'll say stuff like "Turn right on to XYZ street after Wells Fargo on the Left" or "In 1000' turn left after McDonalds on the corner" Has that always been there and I just never noticed?

It would be a little fun if the navigator started saying stuff like "are you hungry for a tasty Big Mac?" whenever you pass a McD's.

Bigger cities (OKC) seem to have it, but I've not noticed it really in Nashville. I really wish it'd just abbreviate the highways / interstates. There's a few where it's like "Take the exit for HWY 123 / HWY 23423 / Jimbob Interchange / Jones street.... Merge onto HWY 123 / HWY 23423 / Jimbob Interchange / Jones street.

Extended LOTR is so much better than Theatrical, it's like an extra 200hp for your sports car. I bought dvds of both versions when they came out, but I made a promise not to watch the EE of the last one until I had a big tv and surround system. Something to savour. Of course, now I have such a setup, I refuse to watch mere dvds instead of bluray. So it sits unwatched.

It's just finishing now, 3:40 in. It's so much better than the theatrical releases. I'm watching 36GB Blu-ray rips on a 4k TV with real surround headphones (actual 3 drivers per side). (Yes, 3:40.

ExplodingSims posted:Ok, so has Google maps started putting advertising in their maps or has that always been there? It's been there at least a year, but mainly in major metro areas. Easy way to get rid of it though. Top left (3 bars thing) -> settings ->Navigation Settings -> Voice Selection -> English (US). It dumbs it down to just "in <so many feet>, turn right". You lose out on street names, but my phone holder is next to the cluster, so it's just a quick glance to see it. QuarkMartial posted:It's been in there for a while, but it's not always there for me.

It dumbs it down to just "at the fork, stay right", "in 500 feet, turn right", "make an illegal turn across 5 lanes of traffic", etc. I use Google Maps 8 hours a day, even street names get annoying. Just tell me when to turn and which fork to take.

I don't get the whole kids getting everyone sick thing, maybe I'm lucky but my son hasn't been sick in years, and when he was in the past I think maybe once I got sick from him. But then some friends of ours have two kids that are constantly sick, and it gets them sick all the time as well I don't get it. Must be my son has a very healthy immune system thank god
